Creating a SDI application and deriving view class from CEditView would be better choice for this.
I hope it helps.

ON_CONTROL_REFLECT_EX and message to control and parent

Russell^'2-Nov-08 22:34

I want my control (CButton derived) has the same behaviour if CLICKED and DOUBLECLICKED.
Now, it is working well if CLICKED...I need to extend the functionality on DOUBLCLICK.
So, I simply added

ON_CONTROL_REFLECT_EX(BN_DOUBLECLICKED, CMyCButton::OnBnDblClicked)

In that function I want to do some similar to

BOOL CMyCButton::OnBnDblClicked(){
	PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(GetDlgCtrlID(), BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM) GetSafeHwnd());
	return TRUE;  // TRUE to 'kill' the message: I don't want that the parent dialog receive it
}

But in that way only my control receive the message BN_CLICKED, not the parent Dialog.

Please, what is the right way to send/post to the control (together to it's parent) that message?

Thank you....but your solution looks work as my previus one, i.e. it is a perfect solution to manage the message inside the control, but his parent window doesn't receive the classic message BN_CLICKED
My be also I'm wronging something...

BOOL XBmpChkBtn::OnBnDblClicked(){
	//CWnd* pParent=GetParent();
	//if(pParent)
	//	pParent->PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(GetDlgCtrlID(), BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM) GetSafeHwnd());
	const MSG* pstMSG = GetCurrentMessage();
    DefWindowProc(WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(GetDlgCtrlID(), BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM) GetSafeHwnd());

	return TRUE;	// Kill the message
}

Please correct as

The solution looks:

BOOL CMyCButton::OnBnDblClicked(){
	GetParent()->PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(GetDlgCtrlID(), BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM) GetSafeHwnd());
	return TRUE;  // TRUE to 'kill' the message: I don't want that the parent dialog receive it
}

or the same of:

ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(BN_DOUBLECLICKED, CMyCButton::OnBnDblClicked)

and

BOOL CMyCButton::OnBnDblClicked(){
	GetParent()->PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(GetDlgCtrlID(), BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM) GetSafeHwnd());
}

but I'm not sure that it is the right way to manage messages when using derived controls, I was aspecting to do everything inside the control class: that call to GetParent() looks strange to me.

any comments?

You posted the solution for yourself.

You are handling the conversion from BN_DOUBLECLICKED to BN_CLICKED in the button control as you desire.

But the whole purpose was to change the message to the parent from BN_DOUBLECLICKED to BN_CLICKED.

So you need to send / post the message to the parent. Which the GetParent () helps you with. If it makes it clearer for you, try this:

BOOL CMyCButton::OnBnDblClicked()
{
    HWND hButton = GetSafeHwnd ();
    HWND hDialog = GetParent (hButton);
    ::PostMessage(hDialog, WM_COMMAND, MAKELONG(GetDlgCtrlID(), BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM)hButton);
}

Ends up being the same though. I'd use SendMessage rather than PostMessage, but that's a different question.

This is the code i used ..........To CREATE a File
and enter a default string..

...........Ive TO USE VC++ MFC

void CFileApp::OnInsert()
{

HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(_T("C:\\Documents and Settings\\MyFile.ini"),
GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ,
NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);

if (hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
AfxMessageBox(_T("Couldn't create the file!"));
else
{
// Attach a CFile object to the handle we have.
CFile myFile(hFile);

static const char sz[] = "Hockey is best!";

// write string, without null-terminator
myFile.Write(sz, lstrlen(sz));
myFile.Close();
}

}

This works.....
BUt For INI I want to ENTER DATA SECTIN-WISE....
...........

Here Data is written just like in Text files...

I need to use ...GetProfileString....
WriteProfileString..... n so on...

Do you plan to use as configuration file for your application ? If yes, this is a bit an outdated way of doing this. More recent applications use the registry to store config options.
If you choose to use the registry, search for articles on CP, there are really a lot. They should get you started.

The following code snippet create two keys under the section 'General' of the File 'MyFile.ini', and then reads one of the keys, showing the value in a message box.
(of course error check is left to the reader...)

Please note 1: if the file doesn't exist, it creates both the file and the section.

Please note 2: I used WritePrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString, otherwise the I/O would happen inside the registry.

const CString szINIFILE = _T("C:\\Documents and Settings\\anu\\beginning\\MyFile.ini");
CString szFirstName;

WritePrivateProfileString(_T("General"),_T("FirstName"), _T("Anu"), szINIFILE);
WritePrivateProfileString(_T("General"),_T("LastName"), _T("???"), szINIFILE);

GetPrivateProfileString(_T("General"), _T("FirstName"), _T(""), szFirstName.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), MAX_PATH, szINIFILE);
szFirstName.ReleaseBuffer();


AfxMessageBox(szFirstName);

WritePrivateProfileString is just a WIN32 API's function: Console applications, as well as GUI (and MFC) ones can profitably call it.

The control will popup a dialog box,
and when I press a buttion in the dialog,
I need the control fire a event?

I tried to do it as below:

CMyDlg::OnOk
{
  CMyCtrl *pCtrl = dynamic_cast<>(GetParent()); // But pCtrl is NULL, for GetParent return
                                                      // the window which contains the control.
  ...
  pCtrl->OnUpdate(var);
}

How to solve it?

ip address setting and adhoc configuration

I would like to know how to configure the ip address of a notebook PC. I only want to configure the wireless network adaptor how can I identity it if I don't know the name of the wireless network adaptor.

Also, how to configure the adhoc mode in the notebook by Visual C++?

Please help!!!

1/ I doubt it's any different on a notebook to a normal one, other than needing changed more often.

2/ I had the same problem a while ago, as I was forever changing my IP address, so I wrote a little tray app to do it. Quick and dirty, but it worked.
I gave up trying to change it programmatically, and ended up using the
netsh interface ip set command instead, and CreateProcess to make sure that no dos prompt flashed up.

3/ I know nothing about adhoc wifi! Would be nice to learn some time...
